$ git push -u origin main
remote: Permission to username/project_name.git denied to first_account_username.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/user_name/project_name.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Git obviously tries to push code to your new repository using your old username. Add you new username explicitly to the URL:

git remote set-url origin https://user_name@github.com/user_name/project_name.git

Or use the SSH syntax:

git remote set-url origin user_name@github.com:user_name/project_name.git

Question :

$ git push -u origin main

remote: Permission to username/project_name.git denied to another_username

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/user_name/project_name.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Answer :

  1. Above the Setting icon in visual studio code there will be a Account Sign in logo icon, click and check it is login with another account or not ?

  2. If it is log in with another Account you will be get the same error continuously... So,

  3. The solution is : You should sign out the other Account in the visual studio and then try in visual studio code terminal following code given below...

$ git push

  1. Then it will ask username and password you should enter the correct details and it will work perfectly.

Check what configuration helper you do have: it might have cached the wrong credentials (from the old users).

git config --global credential helper

Adjust you PATH to use said credential helper.

If you are on Windows, in a CMD, set a simplified PATH like:

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set "GH=%ProgramFiles%\Git"
set "PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\cmd;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%GH%\mingw64\libexec\git-core;%PATH%"

Then type in the same CMD:

 printf "Host=bitbucket.org\nprotocol=https\nusername=old_username" | git credential-manager-core erase

Replace:

  • manager-core by your actual credential helper, as returned by git config --global credential helper
  • old_username by the old username GitHub account

Then try again.
